I have updated some of our positions within the faith, done some shuffling and made some new appointments.

To the Heartlands, I have appointed Joshua De Fontaine as Patriarch and Prior of Halgar. I have not replaced him as Patriarch of Ishma, but I would dearly love to hear from any who would step forward to support him in these roles. I think his experience amongst a noble family will do him well in this place.

To the North, Rus remains, of course, the Patriarch and Prior of Deci. I have created the position of Prior of Alguz, and appointed Lionel Lovehands to the role. It is my hope that he will help strengthen the faith here, and tend to the people, and keep an eye further north to where the wilds reach, not seeking to convert but to care.

To the South, Reason remains naturally the Patriarch, and Prior of Scarlene. Though not with us today, he continues to work in our Ladies light and love, and there is none better to fill this role. To assist I appoint Tobias as Prior of Sellaville, one who has born our light high these past years and embodies the path Latona herself walked.

Tirak remains Patriarch of the Baronies, a land where our faith continues to shine. I trust that he will continue to build on the good will that has been instilled with the Circle and Barons and continue to enable our support for their people.

Haruld remains Patriarch of Amlas. This is an absolute given of course.

I grant two new Cantors, recognition to those not of our faith.

To Una, who served as Matriarch of the Heartlands, until the moment we knew that her callings could no longer hold her within the Church. She continues to do our Ladies work.

And to Penny, who embodies light and life as much as any I have met in many years. Thank you for the compassion you show to this world.

Regarding the events of today in Clawfield, I will say more separately.
